Paula was an amazing guide! We had limited time and she made sure we saw everything we wanted to and did not feel rushed. She gave us great history & information. Definitely the best way to visit the Vatican museums!

10/10. We had a wonderful time. I traveled with my husband and in-laws. Our guide Tommas was everything we could’ve asked for. Kind, courteous, and extremely knowledgeable. He was clearly passionate about art history and happy to answer any questions. We knew booking this private tour would be an investment and we couldn’t be happier.

Francesco did such a great job taking us through the beautiful, majestic, awe-provoking, and also frenetic Vatican Museum, Sistine Chapel, and St. Peter's Basilica. He gave us the perfect amount of backstory so that we were knowledgeable about what we were seeing. He is a funny, kind, welcoming person which made the tour even better. We loved our tour and would recommend it to everyone!
